Im getting ready to purchase a stall convertor from a friend. I was wandering if a 3200 stall convertor would have any adverse effects on daily driving on my 95 SC?
Parker Dean said:As a rough rule of thumb you want your converter stall speed to come in about 700 or so rpm below the engine's torque peak. The SC's torque peak is 2600 rpm (IIRC, but that's close if not exact) which would mean that a 3200 stall is 600 rpm OVER the torque peak and already well into the the decreasing side of the engines power curve.
Pablo94SC said:The amount of misinformation here is disturbing. You want your converter to stall 200-300 rpm below peak torque for maximum torque multiplication during acceleration.
Parker Dean said:Other than misremembering the amount under by a few hundred RPM what else is "disturbing". Not only do I want to know for my own edification but others that read this would want to know too.
Pablo94SC said:Let's use your 700rpm stall for example. Someone buying a new converter from PI stalled at 18-1900 would be an almost complete waste of money. Imagine finding out you wasted an assload of cash on a TC and install only to spend more on shipping to have it restalled and then reinstalled. How is spending all that extra cash and additional time not disturbing?
